Valentine’s Day Dinner: the date night of date nights. Whether you intend to knock it out of the park with lots of razzmatazz or keep it cosy at a hideout for two, location is going to be a key part of your V-Day plan if you want memories (and content) to last for a lifetime.

We've mapped out the best venues for falling in deeper in love over food, wine and conversation, for that ultimate #bettertogether shot, whether you’re looking for:

• • Romance In The Heart Of Town, or
  • Hidden Hideaways and Destination Dining.

ROMANCE IN THE HEART OF TOWN
For the sizzling Sex in the City vibe (and for an excuse to don that boardroom-to-dining room outfit)

54° STEAKHOUSE
Love is in the air, and so is the inviting aroma of perfectly grilled steaks at this modern steakhouse concept on Amoy Street. Sleek with dark wood panelling, and lighting that’s just chef's kiss for date night content, this plush venue sizzles with sensuality.

On 13 & 14 February, 54° Steakhouse presents a Valentine's Menu ($168++ per guest). This is a love letter to carnivores. Pro tip: the evening kicks off with elegant amuse-bouches that'll make your partner (and IG followers) swoon: Robbins Island Beef Carpaccio paired with sea urchin (yes, it's as luxe as it sounds), and warm Potato Brioche with caramelised onion butter and beef tallow — the kind of comfort food that deserves its own feed post.

For appetisers, choose between Tuna and Amachi Crudo with cured egg (add caviar for $18 if you're ready to flex), or Pan-Seared Foie Gras with celeriac, vanilla, and black truffle. For the main event, pick from Black Onyx Filet Mignon (220g) for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, or level up to Kagoshima Wagyu Striploin (170g) for an additional $28 and some exceptional marbling. Both are grilled over ironbark, finished over white Binchotan and served with Creamed Spinach and Mac and Cheese that'll have you rethinking every other side dish. Dessert is a delicate composition of Japanese Strawberries, Cheesecake, Cream, and Vanilla — classic matches made exceptional with panache.

ICHIGO ICHIE
At this modern Japanese kappo concept, Valentine's Day isn't just a meal — it's literally performance art you can eat. On 14 February only, Chef Akane Eno presents a 7-Course Menu ($388++) that begins with LIVE calligraphy.

L-R: Ichigo Ichie interiors & tableware

Picture this: Before the first course is served, calligraphy artist Showfu (who also worked with Chef Akane for CNY 2025) will paint the word "愛" (love) onto a plate using edible red ink — right in front of you. Chef Akane then presents the first course on this hand-calligraphed plate. It's interactive, it's artistic, it's going to have all other couples begging you to un-gatekeep your Valentine’s dinner venue.

As a keepsake, you'll receive a menu folder featuring "愛" hand-calligraphed by Showfu, so you can literally frame the memory. The menu options are between a seasonal spread and Chef Akane's choice, meaning the freshest Japanese ingredients prepared with precision. Translation: trust the process, you're in excellent hands.

1-ATICO – PRIVATE DINING ROOM
Perched 218 metres above ION Orchard, 1-Atico's private dining spaces are what dreams (and aspirational lifestyle content) are made of. We're talking floor-to-ceiling windows, sweeping 360° city views, and interiors as swank as the views are glitzy. And if you really want to do Valentine's right, we're talking about THE Private Dining Room experience.

Picture this: You're in an elegant private space suspended above the main dining room, overlooking the vibrant atmosphere below like you're in your own romantic movie scene. For couples seeking absolute privacy and next-level luxury, 1-Atico offers an exclusive experience for ONE couple only at $1,088++ per couple on 14 February 2026 only.

Apart from getting to choose between two exquisite tasting menus from FLNT or FIRE (we'll get to those in a sec), you will also receive a fresh flower bouquet, a bottle of Dom Pérignon, surprise decorations, and personalised butler service. If this isn’t giving Bridgerton vibes, it's giving engagement-announcement-worthy content. Only one couple gets the spot, so if you're reading this, consider it your sign to book immediately.

For those who want their romance served with open flames and Argentine soul, FIRE delivers a 5-Course Communal Argentinian Dinner (from $188++ per person). This menu is deeply rooted in Argentina's landscapes and traditions — think prime Argentine beef, Patagonian seafood, native grains, seasonal vegetables, and all those bold traditional flavours cooked over open fire. Each course honours Argentina's heritage of asado cooking and heartfelt dining rituals, culminating in A Box of Love — a collection of four iconic Argentinian sweets crafted to be shared. Because in Argentine culture, love and generosity go hand in hand.

From FLNT comes a 5-Course Valentine's Day Dinner Menu (from $178++ per person)that's all about that Nikkei magic — Japanese precision meets Peruvian vibrancy.

For mains, choose between Wagyu Tenderloin, Wild Duck, or Grilled Cod — each paired with signature sauces and contemporary accents that showcase FLNT's mastery of freshness, texture, and bold flavours.

FAT COW
Just a stone’s throw from the Orchard core yet completely tucked away in a quiet compound, Fat Cow is going big with not one but two Valentine's offerings. The Valentine's Lunch Set ($98++ per person) running throughout 1-28 February from 12pm to 3pm is perfect if you want to beat the dinner crowd and still flex. The hero dish is a Premium Smoked Donburi absolutely loaded with Australian Wagyu F4 Striploin, Lobster Tail, Foie Gras, Sauteed Kinoko Butter, Sea Urchin, Lumpfish Caviar, Onsen Egg, and Fat Rice. Honestly, this bowl is more stacked than your Instagram grid.

But the real main character moment is the Valentine's 6-Course Dinner ($178++ per person) on 13 and 14 February at 6pm & 8pm. We're talking Rib Cap Carpaccio with Kaluga Caviar, Shank and Daikon Soup, Knuckle Shabu-shabu, Ribeye Steak with fresh wasabi, Mini Dote-Ni Don with Uni, and Japanese-Style Pudding crowned with Matsusaka beef tallow butterscotch sauce.

This is a luxurious spread so enticing that you might just forget to feed your phone first.

If you've ever dreamed of dining under the stars in your own private geodesic dome, nestled within a lush edible garden in the Seletar countryside, dream no more. The Summerhouse Garden Domes are what Pinterest boards are made of — we're talking air-conditioned glass domes, fairy lights, surrounding greenery, and zero interruptions except for your server bringing the next course.

These domes seat 2-8 guests and are known for intimate multi-course dinners featuring ingredients straight from their own garden. It’s farm-to-table, but romantic. The setup alone is Reel-worthy: imagine golden hour light filtering through the dome, your table glowing, plants everywhere, and a multi-course menu that'll have you posting before, during, AND after. It's the kind of setting where proposals happen – even if you're not getting engaged, your engagement rate definitely will be.

THE ALKAFF MANSION – THE VAULT
Standing on Telok Blangah Hill since 1918, The Alkaff Mansion is where heritage and colonial elegance gives modernity a run for its money. But here’s the plot twist: if you thought this hill-top destination is a hidden gem, wait till you step into The Vault — an ultra-discreet underground cellar tucked within the mansion that's basically a secret lair for romantics.

The Alkaff Mansion

With an intimate setting that makes you feel like you've unlocked a special level, The Vault is the perfect stage for an exclusive 6-course Dinner Menu by UNA Spanish Restaurant ($688++ per couple). Highlights from the menu include a Grilled Sourdough sliced loaded with a slathering of Wagyu Fat, 5J Jamon Iberico, anchovies, fresh grated tomatoes, olive and piparras. The Ensalade de Tomates Heirloom is light and bright assembly of heirloom tomatoes, tomato essence, grilled peach, white asparagus, fennel, topped with caviar to bring a briny burst on the palate and a visual pop in your photos.

Txangurro A la Donostiarra, the classic Basque preparation of spider crab baked in sofrito under a blanket of breadcrumbs; an umami-packed Carabinero en Bisque de Bogavante with red sea prawn, lobster bisque and lobster salpicon; and a traditional Bacalao al Pil Pil with salted cod, piquillo peppers, zucchini and a velvety salt cod emulsion all serve up deep ocean-kissed flavours.

Yet these can’t steal the thunder from the decadent main course of Txuleta a la Parrilla: chargrilled Wagyu tenderloin served with foie gras, marrow, and a Catalan-style beef reduction as intense as your feelings for your date.

1-ALFARO – CON AMORE
Perched on Level 34 of Labrador Tower, this is Singapore's latest sky-high 360° rooftop Italian dining destination, and honestly? It's criminally underrated.
